“It’s interesting that we can use aluminum as a battery material, because it’s cost-effective, highly recyclable, and easy to work with.” The idea of making batteries with aluminum isn’t new. Researchers investigated its potential in the 1970s, but it didn’t work well.
Cathodes in solid state batteries often utilize lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), or nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) compounds. Each material presents unique benefits. For example, LCO provides high energy density, while LFP offers excellent safety and stability.
Solid state batteries utilize solid materials instead of liquid electrolytes, making them safer and more efficient. They consist of several key components, each contributing to their overall performance. Solid electrolytes allow ion movement while preventing electron flow. They offer high stability and operate at various temperatures.
Aluminum's manageable reactivity, lightweight nature, and cost-effectiveness make it a strong contender for battery applications. Practical implementation of aluminum batteries faces significant challenges that require further exploration and development.
Developers concluded that aluminum wasn’t a viable battery material, and the idea was largely abandoned. Now, solid-state batteries have entered the picture. While lithium-ion batteries contain a flammable liquid that can lead to fires, solid-state batteries contain a solid material that’s not flammable and, therefore, likely safer.
The research team knew that aluminum would have energy, cost, and manufacturing benefits when used as a material in the battery’s anode — the negatively charged side of the battery that stores lithium to create energy — but pure aluminum foils were failing rapidly when tested in batteries. The team decided to take a different approach.
